A Cool Officer.

A Danish officer is pictured to us
making observations in regard to the de-
Walton of rifle bullets. One day, when
walking on the ramparts at Duppel, he
saw frussian sharpshooter taking aim
at him. While the soldier placed him
self against a tree, in order to take a
steadier aim, the officer raised his glass
to watch his movements. "This is all
right" said he; "the musket is Just on
a line with my breast-we shall see"
The trigger was pulled, and the Danish
officer quietly wrote down: "At dis
tance of about 500 yards the deviation of
a ball from a rifed musket is about one
metre. - Chdm5ers's Journal

A strange bequest and a Strange house,

name Dan, would come after its food
aud eat it out of the hand. When
ready to take his long winter sleep Dan
would peck at the bureau, when his
mistress would wrap him in tlannels and
tuck him away in "a draw, where he re-
mained dormant until spring. Dan lived
five years with the legatee, and when he
died an alligator took its place, The
latter Ihriyes aud is as tenderly cared
for as pet canary or Scotch terrier

= The efforts of foreigners to acquire and
monopolize large tracts of land in this
country have been partially checked by
the alien land laws. Englishmen and
Scotchmen are now turning their atten-
tion to Mexico, where they are acquiring
immense tracts of land at nominal prices.
let us hope, says the Cuttirator, that the
Wand may not be held in large blocks in
this country, to the exclusion of the
small farmer who may desire to till his
own soil

Southern California produces olives in
great perfection. The most prosperous
grower is Colonel Elwood Cooper, the
largest grower and manufactures OF
sweet oil in the world, who expects to
make from his present crop from 90, 900
to 25, 900 bottles of oil. He employs
thirty men steadily-from sixty to
scveNg a great part of the time, and
has one hundred acres of olive trees.
This year he will also raise at least ten
carloads of English walnuts and four or
five Of almonds.

Fredericksburg, Va, has big pickle
factory that is supplied with cucumbers
from the lands adjoining the city. This
season the supply has reached 80, 900, 900
cucumbers, those engaged in their pro-
duction furnishing from 200, 900 to /, 900, =
600 EACH An acre will produce 100, 900,
and they sell in Fredericksburg at eighty
cents per 1000, The object is to get
them an inch or an inch and half long,
and this requires active picking before
they increase this size. A boy will pick
3,Qh day. Picking them thus early
Eases the productiveness of the vine,
"a while the season lasts othere are ap-
pearing in place Of those taken from the
vines.

When Frnit Trees Grow.

A German man of science CDr Krauss
Of Halle not long ago made some studies
about fruit trees. lie says that they sleep
during the day, and do most of their
growing by night. The fruit of the
cherry laurel, for example, increases nine
times as fast in the night as in the day.
Apples, however, are not quite so lazy
during the day, for their rate of growth
at night is so per cent, and 20 per cent.
by day; that is to say, they toll only
four times as quickly by night as by
day.

James Parton, in one of his fine
agricultural articles, says: 81 do not
know one educated young man of
American birth who thinks of farming
as a profession, and he says that young
men of brains, education and grit are
much needed in the agricultural world.
Thoughtful, skilful direction, with the
ability to recognize and make use of
Natures own limits, are bound to sway
the producing world. Mr.. Parton be-
lieves the kind of farmers who are des-
tined to raise the calling from its present
depressed condition, are those who know
all about it by education and observa-
tion, but as directing head ought not
to be also toiling hands. He says:
"The head man of anything extensive
and complicated is of necessity exempt
from manual toll; but, in return for the
exemption, he secures TO those who
labor under his direction happier lot
than manual toll has ever enjoyed. 4"
'lf any young fellow should ask me
Shall be a farmerl would have to
reply by asking him another question:
Are you man enoughl"

. The various computations of the
amount spent yearly in this country on
liquor are very curious. One speaker at
a recent temperance meeting at Brock
ton, Mass, asserted that from the sum
spent every year on liquor thousand
one-dollar gold pAGes might be put on
each word in Bible, and that even
then there " Rd be SEQ, 900 to spare.

1t is not generally known that pearl
fishing is carried on in the rivers of
Saxony. A family by the name of
Schmerler has for generations had the
monopoly of following this pursuit for
the benefit of the State. The Weisse
Ester and its tributaries furnished last
year one hundred pearls. Formerly the
yield was much greater, and in the six
teenth century pearl fishing was CON
sidered in SaXony of rather more i'm
portauce than the mining industry.

According to pioneering in New
Guinea" the native savages carry the
doctrine of moral heredity to civilized
lengths. The Erema believe that men
are good or bad by inheritance, and that
there are no future punishments for the
one or rewards for the other, One Of
the pretty legends of the Namau is that
man sprang from the earth and woman
was sent down from heaven as com
panion for him.

thoquart died in poverty. For over
twenty years he had lived on a small pen
sion granted him by the Comte de Cham
bord. When, however he received five
hundred francs, his wont was to give his
friends a supper which cost the same
sum, so that on certain days of the year
he went supperless to bed. Still, he was
extremely punctilious in money matters.
Another chapter will throw light on this
side of his character.
Several years ago we were supping,
after midnight, at the Vaudeville coffee
house, Among those present were
Bouffe, the lessee and manager of the
Vaudeville Theater; Bnffaut, the jour
nalist; Doctor Lallemand, who was the
proprietor of the Passage Radziwill; an

THE CORRESPONDING BE.
TWEEN SECRETARY BAYARD
And the British Mtnister, West,
Concerning Pauper ImmigrR-
ti0n Made Public.

WASHINGTON, June 10.-Secretary
Bayard today made public the cor
respondence between himself and Mr..
West, the British Minister, in regard
to assisted immigrants. The Minis er
asked for statement Of the position
of this government in regard TO immi-
grants whose pRsssge was paid in
whole or in part by the British Gov.
eminent. He said he referred to the
CrofLers and others who had friends in
this country who had promised to
take care of them. In reply Secretary.
B3ysId said he could not undertake
to pronounce upon immigrants as a
class; that il must be purely a matter
OF individual application; tha' in every
case in which the immigrant
promised to become burden
on the community, that immi-
grant would not be permitted to
land, whereas, if the reverse were
true, he would bs welcomed; that ex-
per,ence had shown that the putative
friends of many who came to this
cou airy never appeared to look after
them, and that even in cases in which
